Hi Lori I live in the UK, following some direct talking from my Dr. I decided to self pay and I made my decision to have the sleeve on 10 August following meeting the surgeon, had a two week holiday then went on my pre-op diet and into theatre 13 September. I had and still have full support from my surgical team. Ollie

Stay positive and respect the process and you will enjoy a long life.... go grab it!!!!!

It's been 8 months since I decided to have the sleeve done and 7 months since surgery. It's the the best thing I could ever have done. I have my life back! I've added my B4 and images taken yesterday. If your on the journey or feel you want to get on it.... I can't begin to tell you how it will change your life IF you embrace it!

Wow well done you! Your looking amazing glad to hear your doing great too!

Hi 13th (or near as damn it) sleevers. How is everyone doing? Nearly 10 weeks out I'm loving life. Lost 60lbs, now eating normal food, still rial and error on portion on different foods. all old clothes gone, can fasten an airline seatbelt and I am mentally fit. Been for my surgeon check up and all good, I'm now off all Meds bar my Multivitamin and my 3 monthly b12 injection. Will start to ramp up the exercise now I'm still surprised how the UK and US differ in opinion on post op Protein liquids. Other than week one I did not have any. So all gone to plan and loving the decision that I made. Friend and family have been mega supportive. Below is my pre op and post 9 week shot.

Approaching 10 weeks out from VSG. It's been the best decision I've made. I feel mentally and physically fitter. I've experienced NSV such as cloths, airline seat belts and comments[emoji6] I'm eating fine and living life! I'm about 40% of the way losing 60lbs. The piccy is before surgery and 9 weeks

Well done DeeM. Fantastic work!

So today has seen two landmarks. 1. It's 50 days since I started my 2 week pre-op and 5 weeks since the sleeve 2. Today I have lost 50lbs That's 50 in 50! I'm made up This process has changed my life already. For those pondering... As long as you can be strong and follow instruction it will be great. Yes individual results will vary. But for me it's been a fantastic experience.....so far! Positive attitude will lead to success!

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY TODAY is one month since my pre op and 2 weeks since my operation. below is a list of why I'm VERY happy today... >TODAY I STILL HAVE NO REGRETS >TODAY IN TOTAL I HAVE LOST 38LBS >TODY I HAVE HAD MY FIRST STAGE TWO MEAL >TODAY I'VE BAGGED THE FOLLOWING FOR CHARITY - 9 SUITS - 20 SHIRTS - 4 JACKETS, ALL FAR TO BIG >TODAY IVE JUST WALKED 2 MILES >TODAY MY EMOTIONALLY CHARGED 14 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER SAID SHE WAS PROUD OF ME (AND HER HUG WENT ALL THE WAY AROUND) There is along way to go but I am super motivated! TOMORROW...... I WILL STILL HAVE A POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE

Yes all has gone really well and I'm starting purée tomorrow... Can't wait. Let me know how you do.... Good luck!

Boom!

Great strand!! Mine is call BOB Together we are on this journey. BOB had been clam and chilled out so far...... As another famous BOB said 'Don't worry, about a ting, as every little ting is goner be alright' I'm digin it✌️

I'm 2 weeks post op today so transition to purée tomorrow.....It's different in the UK as we don't use the Protein shakes as the main deal. My liquids have been Water Ice pops Consumee ( beef stock) Semi - milk with a decaf coffee shot to make a latte ( sometime with marvel milk powder for extra protein) I also so the same with hot chocolate. Fresh orange juice for vit c Slim fast Meal Replacement shakes Strained Soups Yogurt In the main the milk is the protein provider. It's been a great two weeks and I've been able to do fast walking on the treadmill the last 4 days with enough energy. Can't wait for purée !!!

Oh dear lord, were you sleeved by a team of chimpanzees? Is that all the guidance your post op instructions contains? Special K protein' drinks' are not your best option, BTW.Actually I have an excellent doctor! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Hi are u in uk or us

Hi I take Centrum chewable (fruity) the team said ok for them through first 2-4 weeks then the dr prescribed vits. Good luck!

Well done so far and good luck for the op. It will be great!

Hi Yes had mine on 13th Sept. So nearly two weeks out. It's been fab. No real issues recovering well. Best decision I've ever made. Yes I'll miss LPR but luckily I also love martinis and red wide. A December treat! Good luck with you surgery
